Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Opinion (Obligatory Spoiler Warning)
So, it keeps the spirit of the original very much, which I love. They had a brilliant and hilarious way of working around not having Charles's actor come back (because apparently he's a creep, Idk the specifics because actors don't interest me, but you can look it up). Danny Devito cameo!!! Willem Dafoe is charming as usual!!! We stan Lydia, Astrid and Delia, they were amazing. Michael Keaton was awesome as usual and they absolutely did not hold back on Beetlejuice's character. I was worried they might make Beetlejuice more PC to make him more likeable, but like, his character is absolutely not PC and he's supposed to be a dirtbag, not likeable, but still entertaining, and they executed it perfectly. Loved the silly backstory they gave him. Also the new soul sucker character is very Mommy, but she didn't add too much to the film, the main focus was on the Deets family and BJ as it should be. Although maybe they could have done more with her, Idk, I'm not an expert in film making. I loved that the guys in yellow are just a part of the town now, they never took them back to the Netherworld, so I like to think they just live there now. Loved how Lydia didn't end up marrying anyone and now can focus on her relationship with her daughter.
The only down sides: I miss the Harry Belafonte music, I wish they had used more of his songs. I miss Barbara and Adam, but Idk if something happened to their actors too or what, I'll maybe look it up. I feel like the makeup between Lydia and Astrid was a bit rushed in the scene where they reunited with Astrid's dad, but then again, movies have limited time. They killed Bob :(. I really didn't like that, justice for Bob, he was doing the best he could and deserved so much better. Also I felt personally attacked when the creepy guy said he wanted to marry Lydia on Halloween, like, that's what me and my fiancé are doing this year and like, I'm so offended /j.
